Kick Off 3pm

Sanwiched between two Rangers games at Ibrox, lies a home league game to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, at Celtic Park tomorrow. After losing the first Old Firm game after extra time on Wednesday night, Celtic must pick themselves up for tomorrow's game.

We didn't play well at Ibrox. We looked tired, uninterested and lacked in ideas. Things have to change soon, or else we will only go downhill from here.

For tomorrow's game, Stan Petrov, Bobo Balde and Craig Beattie are all doubts, and I say rest them all. Give others a chance and keep our half-fit players waiting until they are fully fit. Chris Sutton is fit to play, but personally, I would rest him too. Keep John Hartson up-front with Henri Camara and save Sutton for next Saturday.

It's all very well talking about the Rangers game next week but we need to concentrate on tomorrow's match. Calley do not have a manager at the moment, after losing John Robertson to Hearts. You can read all about this on the Hearts-Mad messageboard.

It's time we woke up. We are still four points ahead in the league and if we win tomorrow we will be seven ahead of Rangers, who have a tricky visit to Easter Road the next day.

We need to start playing well, and looking hungrier. Our passing and movement must improve or else we will keep losing embarrassing goals which we should not be losing.

Tomorrow's game is now the most important game we have coming up. Let's get a good performance, a victory, and we'll be back on track.

Come On The Hoops!

Prediction:
Celtic 3-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
